This error will cause a warning:

In the lower version (such as 5.10), there is no corresponding error

to go down will trigger a kernel panic, so cc stable.

Is this is important point and what you're saying is that this only
panics on kernels before 5.10 or so because after that it's correctly
failed by block device error handling so there's nothing to fix in
later kernels?

In that case, isn't the correct fix to look at backporting the block
device error handling:

This is the last commit that support error handling, and there are many
relied patches, and there are lots of refactor in block layer. It's not
a good idea to backport error handling to lower version.

Althrough error handling can prevent kernel crash in this case, I still
think it make sense to make sure kobject is deleted in order, parent
should not be deleted before child.

Thanks,
